Up? Up what to what? Whatever you do will be a waste as you won't see much gain.Lucky
I'll up a few things little later. But in the mean time it should be ok. Will see what new cards come out. I'll upgrade the card and the GPU later. (Budget constraints and all that)
By the way thats almost a spitting image of my machine - also from Wootware. Great choice of hardware for great synergy!

Typing on it now. Took some pictures but just setting up drivers and so on so long. Installed x32 windows 7 more now.
Will upload pics tomorrow
Why? You gonna need 64-bit windows for Witcher 3 for example, won't run on 32-bit. Think BF4 is the same.

Just wanted to see if the rig is running. I'll sort it out in the morning. All seems to be working 100% though.
Ah ok good stuff, enjoy!

Right, tried this morning again to find a legal copy of windows just to be sure. And again the prices are insane. x64 just finished downloaded. Now to install that and run win7loader 
Also pretty annoyed that I can't find a black sata cable. I had to settle for a red one and now I have 2 black ones and 1 red one. The case looked so neat and tidy till this damn red cable...
Stay tuned for pics. Just want to install x64 quick.

I checked it on youtube and I don't like it much.
Got x64 running now. Tried some win7loader that infected my machine which some stupid crap pups... Anyway, x64 is running, still have 3 days to get a nice win7loader

Ooo that sent me on the right way. I had to format my SSD again as it wasn't in MBR. Got that sorted and now windows is 100% "legit"
At long last I'm done. Now I can just download all my steam games...

Since early 2014. The last time I had a Core i5-K, Z-series board, 8GB RAM and a mid-high-end single GPU for R10,000 in my System Builder's Guide was early 2H 2012. Towards the end of 2012, that same configuration cost R11k. Then it was R12.5K in early 2013. It stayed at R13k for most of 2H 2013 and went to R14k 1H 2014. 2H 2014 jumped things up to R15k and it's been there ever since.
And it keeps on ****ing climbing.
